He is right in a way - who wants to go and live in Ashford/Thurrock/Milton Keynes/Stansted anyway?

Neither his nor the Government's solutions do much to help people elsewhere in the region who are priced out of the housing market. However the market does not meet peoples' needs because supply is artificially and unnaturally constrained by the planning system. What are needed are more houses where the people and the demand are, ideally spread around in existing settlements and employment centres.

Can I ask Boris exactly what provision is being made in Henley (or indeed elsewhere in his constituency) to increase the supply of "affordable" (not necessarily social) housing, so that his constituents do not have to uproot and move 100 miles or more to Ashford or the Midlands?

Or perhaps this is a bit too much for some of his well-heeled supporters and constituents who prefer to pull up the ladder to their leafy corner of the Thames Valley?
